Nika
Being pushed into the ground stood against the vampire's every fiber of being, her instincts revolting against such fate no matter the circumstances. She kept struggling, her footing shaky, entering the contest of strength she planned to engage in to begin with, even if the situation she ended up in wasn't exactly as she imagined to be. Gotta just grit teeth and put all her unbeating heart into this round.
This was a contest of pure strength and the vampire was confident in her own one, putting as much power coursing in her veins as she could afford. Surely Mira had reasons to be confident about her odds, but in the end it was how Nika wanted it: decisive showdown over losing from sheer attrition. But would she prevail in the end?

Mira
Bracing herself against the wall crater allowed Mira the leverage to avoid having a chance of being taken down, but she struggled with her opponent's obvious experience in grappling with people this way. She tightened her hold on her opponent's midsection, and heaved upward. "Get yer face outta my chest...!" She drove her knee up into her opponent's midsection and allowed the wall to protect her footing in the meantime.
Of course, the irony was that the way Mira was holding her prevented Nika from complying.

Getting kneed by Mira smarted more than a mortal's blow should have, but by now she shouldn't be really surprised about someone other than a vampire forcing her to struggle. Again, she was glad that with her anatomy it hurt less than it should have.
No time for complaining about the blows, though. She had to think on her feet and do something to try to get an upper hand in this match. Alright, she could use her head. Not to think, but to repay with a counterattack. Got complaints about her face in the chest? How about headbutting her!

Mira
Mira saw the move coming from above, which didn't let her avoid it so much as position her head so that there was less distance between the back of it and the wall behind it. It meant that she was just taking the full force of some really fast and powerful fighter launching herself up into her face, and not also being smashed into the wall again so much. She was left disoriented for a moment, and it left room at last for her opponent to do a brief follow up.
It was really not fair when only one person cared about their brain being rattled in a fight.

The one thing vampire cared about though, short of massive trauma that would make her undead resilience irrelevant, was the one thing that never went entirely away, the one thing that drove her existence past her death: the blood. And matching this equal or even possibly superior opponent shaved away at the lifeforce flowing through her veins.
The hunger gnawed at her. This probably would've been a different matter altogether if she fought a vampire. Imbibing blood of creatures similar to her was a taboo not just because of the potential addiction to it, but also as sometimes it didn't stop just at it. But against a mortal, fairly powerful at the same time? She could really weaken Mira and reenergize herself in midst of the duel. She didn't see herself overdo it either, as she was yet at this point where hunger overrode her basis reasoning.
Landing a hit in a grapple wasn't the issue, so she was fairly confident she would bite in. Especially if Mira expected that just doing shit without care about blunt trauma to her dead organs was the peak of reckless stuff she could think off.
